This Wiltshire walk offers a range of scenery from rolling downs to the open aspect of the Vale of Pewsey. The start is the small car park adjacent to the village hall in the village of Wootton Rivers. Exit the car park and walk north through the village to join the Mid Wilts Way which leaves the road on your left. Follow this path north for just under a mile climbing onto the downs. Reaching a path junction turn left, following the Mid Wilts Way and continue when the path turns right to meet Mud Lane.

Turn left along Mud Lane for two miles continuing along the Mid Wilts Way. The way ahead climbs steadily across the rolling downs crossing a lane. Continue straight ahead with a steep escarpment to your left with an excellent view across the Vale of Pewsey. Reaching a path junction continue straight ahead. At a cross-path go straight ahead and continue along the southern edge of Withy Copse to reach a cross path. Turn left here to join the White Horse Trail to continue along a ridge passing Giant's Grave. Continue to descend to a cross path. Go straight across and continue south to reach Sunnyhill Lane.

Cross Sunnyhill Lane and take the path opposite remaining on the White Horse Trail to reach Pains Bridge on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Turn left along the canal towpath for two and a half miles of easy walking back to Wootton Rivers.

Finish with a pint in The Royal Oak at Wootton Rivers.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
